Calculate Ship's Swing Radius when Anchored ll Turning Radius ll Turning Circle ll Drag Circle

[@Dmytro-l3o]

Thank you for such a clear explanation! Only have decided to make one remark about, fortunately less but still in effect unpleasant practice among some, mostly young, officers: activating MOB mark on GPS/ECDIS upon dropping the anchor OR just directly taking the position from GPS upon the same AND using it as a reference (center) point for the swinging circle without corrective calculations. The case is that they are taking the position (either manually or by activating MOB) not of the dropped anchor itself, but of the GPS antenna which is on compass deck right above the Bridge, and correspondingly 100+ meters away from the actual anchor position. Definitely, this may not have harmful effect on the safety with small vessels and at some far and not congested anchorages, however at the same Singapore strait, rivers, etc. it certainly may have..

sir can you make a video solving about examination for master/chief mate of unlimited tonnage. exam can get on national maritime center website. thank so much sir ^^

[@nauticalacademy001]

I will try. Thank you for the comment.

What about the water depth, sir?

[@nauticalacademy001]

Thank for the comment. Depth of the water will be applied when you determine the number of anchor shackles to be dropped. Here is the link in my video how to determine the number of shackles in a specific depth of water in different weather conditions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXS2n2d6g9J_e80
